I would like to utilize the condensation effect of my home toilet to function as a dehumidifier for the bathroom. This would effectively solve two problems, that of the toilet "sweating" and dripping, and of the humidity in the bathroom which is causing mold. I've considered some sort of robotic squeegee system or some shit, but that's fuckin stupid. The shape of the tank is irregular. Is there some capillary action I could use to direct the small beads that form into a catchment through an absorbent material? What about a hydrophobic coating?

Out of curiosity, how hot is your bathroom?

normal temp, maybe 70f, 73f at most. It's hella humid in my area, so water condenses readily wherever there's a significant temperature difference. It's a common problem with toilets from what I understand
would a hydrophobic coating make the water drip down, or just repel the water vapor and prevent condensation in the first place?

it would be cool to form a drip path by selectively coating the toilet with the seal and adding a small fan to direct the condensed droplets there like beads of sweat down a fat magic player's butt crack . orrrr run a fan with, like you said, a sponge filter at the intake. but give the sponge enough cross sectional area area to catch a lot of water and let the drip of the sponge again feed to the original water source.
